At Long Last! Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s ‘Bachelor’ Season Gets a Premiere Date

Attention, Bachelor fans! Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s season of The Bachelor finally has a premiere date, and it’s coming a lot sooner than you think. *Crowd cheers*

ABC just announced today that season 22 of The Bachelor will premiere on January 1, 2018, at 8 p.m.

Based on previous season premieres of The Bachelor, we knew Luyendyk Jr.’s season would air sometime in January 2018. However, the fact that we can ring in the New Year with a good ol’ Bachelor viewing party is making us all sorts of Chris Harrison giddy.

In the meantime, we’ll be here anxiously waiting for ABC to release the contestant bios.
